I will just say that I feel that we are NOT some kind of idiots when walking into CRT forum, in a thread that claims that a CRT in 2015 are way better than one of the best digital projectors for home Cinema use.

And I also feel that I'm NOT trolling, more the opposite. But I am on a CRT forum and a thread that's in a CRT area.

Some of the guys in this thread has been very very hostile, and on any other forum would have been banned from the thread.
I will say because of very little knowledge, posting stuff that is inrelevant to what we tried to point out.
Andreas and me have no intentions of taking your hobbies away. Just making a point by trying to get proof of this thred owners clames.
Because all I see from Greg Esiemann then mods and new simulation grade tubes does NOT make the picture on a barco much better at all.

But better than the original yes. So leave it with that and be happy.

This because I have done so many years of testing and also side-by-side tests with CRT, and a bunch of digitalis.
Me in the other hand still miss some of the tweaking stuff with CRT. With all my CRTs it was tweaking every time I turned it on.
And on every CRT forum I visits, it's still fun to see that there are so many Enthusiasts left, and still live back in that time when CRT WAS the best.

This has taken too much of my time so I think it's time throw the towel.
But I really want to see the true changes after modifications on your CRTs with different mods. I have a thread for that but seams like no one have the balls to post improve. Wonder why?

But I guess all found out that it's more interesting to be hostile then showing this.

Curt P sorry for using FORUM No intentions of all to offend you personally or any forum, just pointing out that I did not approve the thread owners clames and untrue statements.

Let CRT be CRT and enjoy it as long as it lasts.

one thing has been bugging me for a long time though, why on earth does the JVC have a brown tint all over its image?

I have never seen this. It sounds like either a bad pj, faulty calibration or poor environment. Are you basing this off of one JVC or multiple JVCs that you have seen?

No, off off the pics posted. They all have a brown tinge.

I do know that, that's why I use calibrated monitors. Smile

So posting screenshots proves nothing Smile

Hello, this is my first post on this forum. I have followed this thread sporadicly. I have only read parts of this thread. I understand that this is a crt forum.

I know Diddern. We are not friends, but have talked a lot the last 12 years, because we share the same interest for projectors.

He is called a advocate for digital here in the forum, and thats wrong. Because he would be a advocate for whateever that he would consider the best. He is very dedicated when it comes to testing and someone would probaly call him obsessed.

When i read this thread I think several people have agendas that are note very useful for the discussion at hand.

I have visited Diddern 1 time to see his 1000/1100. The projector was calibrated by the best calibrator in Norway. And I must say that I was extremely impressed with naturnalness of the picture. It was so detailed without looking digital, it looked very organic. When viewing Sin City 2 the blacks seemed very deep. Diddern likes light-output so the projector was calibrated with more output than I personally prefer, so I couldnt conclude the black perfomance. I would personally not use the iris and probably close the manual iris all down. I personally can live with 8-10 foot-lamberts in a dark home-theater.

I personally have used almost all crts that are out there. My last crt was a Barco Cine 9 in new condition. I have also calibrated displays since 1998.

To claim that the Eisemann tubes are better than the Sony 1000 is a pretty tall statement. To prove it is another thing. That a few people still prefers crt is very nice, but to others it is hard to understand.

I cant say what is best for another person.

Currently I have no crt. But I will probaly get some later.

I am an advocate for everyone that are enjoying their projector no matter what it is.

I hope I am not getting in trouble with this post.

This forum is so helpful for those embracing the wonder of crt.

Per Johnny

Hey Craig,
Have you ever used an eecolor lut box with a digital pj?
